1 National Housing Federation 12 October 2011 Mike Biles - Housing Ombudsman The new complaints mechanism
2 communication
3 The new complaints mechanism How the mechanism will work Changing role of the ombudsman What will not change
4 Localism Bill 2010 Cl. 167(7A) A complaint against a social landlord is not duly made to a housing ombudsman under an approved scheme unless it is made in writing to the ombudsman by a designated person by way of referral of a complaint made to the designated person.
5 designated person means: (a) a member of the House of Commons (b) member of the local housing authority for the district in which the property concerned is located, or (c) a designated tenant panel for the social landlord
6 Cl. 167(7B) In paragraph 7A(2)(C) designated tenant panel means a group of tenants which is recognised by a social landlord for the purpose of referring complaints against the social landlord.
7 Enforcement of a HO s determinations 7C The Secretary of State may by order make provision for, or in connection with, authorising a housing ombudsman under an approved scheme to apply to a court or tribunal for an order that a determination made by the ombudsman may be enforced as if it were an order of the court.
8 Housing Ombudsman MP and or local councillor and or Tenant Panel Tenant complains to landlord
9 House of Lords Report Stage - 7 September 2011 Amendments: dual track no enforcement powers duty to explain how compensation calculated
10 Baroness Hanham I am happy to look again at the second stage and how a matter would get to the ombudsman. I give a commitment to do that before the next stage of the Bill so that we can discuss how we think that could take over...to see whether there is a way through here without absolutely undermining the provisions that the Government wish to introduce. The Government believe that local people who are associated with local housing and have become disconnected from it should be aware of what is going on and be capable of dealing with a lot of the problems that tenants have without them having to approach the ombudsman. My offer is one of discussions to see whether there is a way through. If we have not found one by Third Reading, we will be able to deal with the matter then. I am very happy to look at how we can deal with the question of whether it is a requirement for the MP or local councillor to be the final arbiter of when a matter is passed on to the Local Ombudsman.
11 Changing role of the Ombudsman jurisdiction all social housing w.e.f. 1 April 2013 designated persons new offer to the sector new strategy new Vision new Mission
12 Vision working with others to increase trust in dispute resolution and to improve landlord and tenant relations
13 Mission : impartial dispute resolution in rented housing
14 MISSION We shall work with landlords and tenants impartially to resolve disputes that come to us using processes that are fair, evidence-based, free of bias and free of prejudice. These principles of DR are the basis of our work with landlords, MPs, councillors and Tenant Panels to resolve disputes that come to them and with Tenants so they understand these principles. Together we will achieve accessible DR that will be of benefit to both landlords and tenants, and encourage landlords to use these outcomes to improve the services they provide.
15 Mission primary outcomes The primary outcomes of our vision and mission are that, in 2016: tenants and landlords have increased trust in dispute resolution tenant and landlord relations are improved landlords have a positive view of complaints designated persons are able to play their part, and housing and tenant bodies are engaged in the formulation of our strategy, dispute resolution principles, and delivery mechanisms.
16 governance new terms of reference new processes internal structure DR principles learning delivery tools
17 What will not change? culture performance customer care philosophy still be an ombudsman still champion complaints improving service
18 Customer care valuing the individual diversity emotional intelligence HOS delivers justice in the form of fair, balanced outcomes through an impartial and quality-controlled process and excellent customer care getting the balance right between customer care and impartiality.
19 Customer care emotional intelligence and diversity gathering evidence analysing evidence communicating decisions social skills social skills self control listening empathy diversity help support courteous friendly clinical (emotion free) self-awareness (prejudice / bias) self-regulation (personal feelings) self control listening empathy diversity help support courteous friendly
20 Philosophy service quality not a regulator conciliator / problem-solver outcomes - positive culture
21 independent effective efficient fair appropriate proportionate transparent ethical consistent respected relevant
22 Still be an ombudsman
23 statutory Ombudsman Secretary of State approved not for profit independent impartial free at point of use
24 access to justice not available in courts fair and reasonable in all the circumstances private no need for professional advice level the playing field
25 inquisitorial spirit of enquiry not combat conciliation rather than victory ferret out the facts flexible discretion process tailor procedure examine records interview witnesses use professional experts
26 publication of decided cases non-compliance is rare complainants remain anonymous accountable effective systemic issues
27 ownership (of complaint) resident trigger? more than a complaints dept. outcome wider than complaint
28 no appeal no costs appropriate remedy/ies outcomes added value ( key strength ) information and guidance
29 specialist expertise not bound by legal rules of evidence no need for appearances (as in court)
30 Benefits of positive complaints culture? shop around - customers go elsewhere - MP, solicitor, press etc continuous service improvement improved resident confidence and satisfaction/ relationship improved credibility and image
31 improved customer loyalty (loyal customers spread good news ) early warning system prevention of repeat complaints reduced / avoided litigation improved understanding at Board and management levels of strengths & weaknesses of service
32 low cost consultancy better targeting of resources improved employee satisfaction core of quality service information about the business discover what customers really want
33 reduce voids avoid costs - extra collection expense - payments delayed / withheld - poor image - increased media cost optimise revenue - unhappy customers = costly
34 Provider CEO: given our determination to provide a service to customers that is of high quality and at the same time continues to improve, we well appreciate the contribution that complaint handling and learning from our mistakes actually makes towards achieving our ambitions
